violinist Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 So what are your stocking plans? Link to comment
Dasani Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 lookin good, you ever think about a background? i just got a double sided background from petco, its awesome, has black on one side and blue on the other and its like $2/ft! It's got great colors. Just a thought but good job, keep it up! I'm glad your not one of those newbs that just throws everything in lol. Sound like you got it figured out. GL! Link to comment
ticklem Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 So what are your stocking plans? 2 Percola Clowns 2 domino damsels and some zoos and Xenias to start out. Obviously a CUC a couple snails and a cleaner shrinp. Thats about all Ive got figured out at the moment. Link to comment
violinist Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Cool, looking forward to seeing it build out. Is that a big shell on the top of the scape? Link to comment

10001110101 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 is that an odyssea fixture? if so, i would recommend replacing the bulbs... the light will be every bit as good as something from current or coralife... set-up looks good so far. Link to comment

Are you saying I should switch out the bulbs with current or coralife bulbs??? It is an odyssea fixture. Link to comment
10001110101 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Are you saying I should switch out the bulbs with current or coralife bulbs??? It is an odyssea fixture. i mean yeah those would be a lot better than the stock odyssea's, but i was thinking more like 14k phoenix, or 20k radium as far as the PC bulbs, really anything will look better than the stock... those odyssea bulbs seem to have a green hue to them...

xcode Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 You ready to put some frags in there? Link to comment

Are those double ended MH bulbs? if so, I don't believe there is a DE Radium 20K in 250w (only 150w). As far as a green hue to the bulbs, much of it could be due to the camera's white balance, so it's pretty much impossible to tell from the photos. You'll need to tell us You mentioned about having too much light. You can absolutely have too much light for any particular coral, but the ability to raise and lower you fixture will help. The good thing about raising your MH is that you're getting better spread. Tank is looking nice Link to comment
Sukey Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Wow, I love that light, how wide/long is it? Link to comment
ticklem Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 It 24" lonng and like 18"wide Link to comment

Rockfish Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 are you using A HOT magnum as a source of main filtration?? Link to comment
ticklem Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 i would say NO to the domino damsels they get big and mean. 2x CLowns 1 Firefish 1 goby NICE TANK! I thikn you are right here...I am going to go with the Yellow clown goby, 1 fire fish , and 2 clowns much better than the damsels. Link to comment
ticklem Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 are you using A HOT magnum as a source of main filtration?? Not really I have plenty of live rock for a 20L tank the Magnum is more for flow and to keep the water clear. Link to comment
ticklem Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 Old scape VS. New Scape let me know your opinions!!! And some pics of added livestock since tank finally is throught he cycle and all. Old Scape New Scape with background Firefish Xenia Ric Acan Frag Shrooms GSP Frogspawn looked pretty weak when I got it it has opened up quit a bit believe it or not only paid 10 bucks and it has 3 heads Link to comment
ticklem Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 So I am off to the LFS today to get 2 clowns and a bi-color blenny. Also gonna add to my CUC maybe 1 More Astrea and 2 more hermits. And maybe find a nice candy cane frag or some colorful zoas. Link to comment
violinist Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 New scape kicks ass! Blennies also kick ass! Link to comment
Mojorizn Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Like the two island look. Can ya get a Magfloat all the way around the sides? Link to comment
azman_ Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I personally think the new scape is much better. Makes it look a bit larger Link to comment
ticklem Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 Like the two island look. Can ya get a Magfloat all the way around the sides? Yep have the nimble nano magnet so it goes pretty much anywhere. I did find it hard to clean the sand this past water change so I might move the islands a little closer together just to give more room between them and the glass. But so far I am liking the scape. Thanks for the comments about the scape I just wish I had a better camera to snap some better pictures of my inhabitants. Seems like all my pictures come out with a green tint and I have played with the WB and can't get good pictures. Did pick up the 2 clowns but no Blenny yet. Think I am going to wait till I can get the Midas Blenny they look much cooler. Link to comment
violinist Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 PIcs? You should add your tank to the 20L list, last link in my sig: Link to comment
